And judging by the clip of the first race they seem to provide good racing too.

The first race was very good, even if it was decided in a pitstop mistake from Dandelion, the strategy of the teams gave to the race many possibilities, good racing, and some great moments. Nakajima did a great job, allways fast, couting with a good work from the team in the pitstop, he was able to take the lead from Tsukakoshi and managed the difference in the last laps, to win for the 2nd time in his Formula Nippon career...

Kazuki Nakajima complained about Bridgestone tyre.
He said courent Bridgestone tyre is too hard,so they should make more soft tyre.

I think race will be more exciting if Bridestone make more soft spec tyre than now spec.
I want see many overtake...

Should be at least a decent championship battle between Lotterer, Nakajima, and Oliveira this time. I started following this series since last year after looking at video clips of old races on Youtube.

_________________

The race was nice, some good fights, but only a few overtakes. TOM'S did a great job again, Lotterer dominated the weekend and the championship fight is going to be great. It was amazing how good was Team Impul pit work, both drivers could overtake a car after their pitstops, interesting fact is that the same 8 drivers who scored in the first race, also did it in the second race too, here's the final results...
